Today is a twofer!!!

First this morning, i weighed myself and I was 217.1 lbs from 220.9 on Sunday.  I’m not counting a 3.8lb weight loss until Sunday when it will be official, but it will sure make sticking to my plan at the Halloween Party today SO much easier!

Secondly, they announced our new benefits for next year this morning and they are adding discounts for weight loss programs.  This is the first time I’ve worked at a company that has even attempted to help out with weight loss.  No offense to anyone who needs it, but I get frustrated whenever smoking cessation medication is covered and weight loss meds are not.  I can’t say which one is more hazardous to your health, but they are both VERY serious addiction problems and deserve at least equal attention.  Of course, they have not announced what the discounts will be and in what capacity, but I’m glad that they are at least taking the step forward.

    Way to go on the loss so far this week! Keep at it. I think that is awesome that your company is offering a discount for weightloss programs!

    Congrats on the weightloss even though it’s not official yet. And that’s great your job is taking a step to help with weightloss. Obesity is a big issue in our country and people have to have help if they need it. Have a great Halloween.

    I agree with you that smoking and obesity are equally as harmful. In my job I get to review lots and lots of medical records and it’s truly scary the illnesses that obese people face. Looks like you’re doing great and this new set of benefits may be useful to you.
